well i'm going to the place where the tough guys go
and come out even tougher
a place where a man don't show his feelings
a place where a man don't cry
they say i'm being punished and they say i'll be reformed
that someday i'll return
did they really think that this time it would work
you knew all along it wouldn't
oh i'm prison bound
i did a crime one too many times
its on the outskirts of town by railroad tracks
where the country moonshines
oh i'm prison bound
tell my girl i'll be back one day
oh i'm prison bound and i'll never know any other way
they take away my freedom of expression or action
johnny says i walk the line
with three hots and a cot, and a lot of talk
with lock up, concrete and steel
its cold and its clammy
its colder than a pimp's heart
but i've gotta do my time
there's a lesson to be learned here but what a price to pay
and you know i'll never learn
